A real Thriller

BlazeBlogger

In a bit of whimsy, the Blaze creative team came up with an installation that mimics the classic dance scene from Michael Jackson's Thriller video of old. Nice use of costumes, I'd say. And, though the dancers don't actually move, the shape suggests movement. A mighty nice effect.

Opening night!

BlazeBlogger

OK, it's t-minus and about three hours as I type this and I can barely contain myself. Blaze, opening night, perfect weather, tonight...and yes, it's SOLD OUT, but if you desperately [...]

Gone, gone, gone...

BlazeBlogger

Gone, gone, gone...

BlazeBlogger

Yes, it's true. As the graphic states, two of Blaze's 18 nights are sold out as of today...and it's not even October 1! Prime dates of Saturday, October 18 and Saturday, October 25 are gone, gone, gone.

The Blaze powers that be are not kidding when they stress that you really do need to secure your spots in advance.

If you [...]

In the blink of an eye, Blaze tickets can go bye-bye

BlazeBlogger

"Do I really have to worry in September about getting tickets for a Halloween event?"

Well, technically, no, you don't have to worry about anything I suppose. But, if you're a Blaze fanatic, or you've spent some time with a Blaze fanatic and are wondering what all the fuss is about and plan to see for you [...]

Blaze and Legend are cancelled on Friday, Oct. 19 :-(

BlazeBlogger

Due to the extreme weather conditions in Westchester County this evening, Historic Hudson Valley is canceling both The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze and Legend Weekend for Friday, Oct. 19.

Obviously, this is extremely disappointing news for everyone.

But, ticket holders are getting an AUTOMATIC full refund applied to their credit card. There is no need to call or e-mail. Ticket holders for tonight are encouraged to book another separate reservation. (You can [...]

Getting your hands on tickets (and how to get in when they�re gone)

BlazeBlogger

Blaze ticket demand is rather brisk, which has led to several sold out nights well in advance and lots of posts here and elsewhere from people looking for tickets. But there is still PLENTY of availability, just not on Fridays and Saturdays. Here's a handy recap:

Weekend #2 (#1 is past, and it sold out entirely): Comprising Thursday [...]

Ticket printing...YouTubing...

BlazeBlogger

The Powers o' Blaze Tickets have asked me to pass along this message to those of you coming to Blaze this month (everybody, right?). If for some reason you are having difficulty printing your "print-at-home" tickets (that PDF link you should have received), don't sweat it, or panic, or post panicked messages on the Blaze Blog. Rather, s [...]

October 13...going, going, gone

BlazeBlogger

October 13 has just gone the way of October 20: Sold out.

October 20...going, going, gone!

BlazeBlogger

It's around 10 p.m., and October 20 has become the first Blaze date to sell out completely. Other dates are on its heels...

Ticket glitch (now solved), read if you bought recently

BlazeBlogger

I've just learned that there was a glitch with tickets that were purchased from about 5 last night till about 11 this morning. (Those of you who were asking earlier if the site was down or tickets are sold out, apparently the site was down briefly this morning while the glitch was being fixed.)

Ticket buyers receive two e-mails: The first is a confirmation, while the second contains a link to the PDF of the tickets. But, for those of you who bought during this time frame ( [...]

Take a deep breath...

...ticket sales are back online...

Those missing time slots

BlazeBlogger

For those of you wondering about the 6:30 and 7 pm time slots, they are off-line temporarily while the HHV techs figure out a particularly pesty problem involving the print-at-home tickets.

Estimated time for those being back on line is around 5 pm tomorrow.

The time slots won't disappear like this when they are sold out. They will appear as having "0" availability.

I can tell you that 6:30, 7 and 7:30 tickets for Oct. 20 are gone. Those went really fast, [...]

How to purchase tickets online: step by step

BlazeBlogger

First off, if you're having difficulty, thanks for your patience trying to buy tickets online. Historic Hudson Valley is using the same software as last year (and this year for Kykuit tickets) and yes, it can seem a little confusing the first time you go through it. But it's not that tough once you get the hang of it. Here's a step-by-step pri [...]

Blaze/Legend tix: It's alive!

BlazeBlogger

OK, the Powers o' Blaze/Legend Technology tell me that ticket sales for the October events are back online as of 2:30 p.m.

Those who ordered tickets last night should have now received their second e-mail, which contains a link to the PDF print-at-home tickets.

Here's a direct link to the page:

Once there, under "Step 1," choose the date you are interested in and scroll down until you see "Blaze" [...]

Here's what's going on with presale tickets

BlazeBlogger

Greetings all...It's about 9:45 on Wednesday and the ticket system is down. Of course, this decides to happen right after last year's Blaze ticket buyers were given a presale notice.

But, don't fret, Historic Hudson Valley's self-described "head nerd" tells me he's working on it. Here's what he said:

"I was syncing some fresh tunes to my iPod (Halloween music, 'course) when the Distant Early Web Warning system alerted me to a problem with [...]
